Food campaign

We are building a sustainable food system.

Our food campaign demands that McDonald’s and other giant food corporations end their abuses from seed to plate. We organize to champion children’s health, support workers’ rights, and protect the environment.

In 2017, the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) Board of Education passed a resolution to end McDonald’s McTeacher’s Nights with far-reaching implications for all junk food sponsorship within the district. This is a huge win for everyone who cares about the health of our children.

Making a broken food system whole again.

We believe a more sustainable food system is both necessary and possible. Everyone should have access to healthy food, and food production should not come at the expense of workers’ rights, animal welfare, or the environment. Corporations should not profit at the expense of our children’s health and people’s lives.

McDonald’s is at the core of the problem. With its unparalleled demand for consistent and cheaply produced commodities, McDonald’s has done more to shape today’s food system than any other entity. By reining in the abuses of this fast food giant, we can reverse a deadly public health epidemic and help ensure a true food system transformation.

Anna Lappé & Food MythBusters

The Myth of Choice: How junk food marketers target our kids

In our food work, we partner with Real Food Media and author and advocate Anna Lappé on communications initiatives to bust Big Food myths. And we share the powerful solutions stories of communities around the country building a more just and sustainable food system. Real Food Media’s Food MythBusters video series takes on some of the biggest myths about food, including the myth that the junk food and fast food industry is just responding to consumer demand. Through videos, digital organizing, and media engagement, Anna and the Food MythBusters team reveal how much Big Food pushes its products, particularly in communities of color.
